I think Mr Ferguson needs to look at a graph or two. Someone too wrapped in his models to look out the window.

Marr to Ferguson "you clearly don't use a shaving mirror"

And we pay this clown millions from our licence fee

Epidemic in the UK to plateau in the next week to 10 days 

Current view of deaths , could possibly be between 7,000 -  20,000

Very uncertain about how to implement exit strategies - currently being worked on.

Well your watching him

What do expect from these towel head Abu Dhabi criminals. We let them buy football clubs and launder money

I watched the interview and his comments were rational, level-headed and evidence-based with no insinuation that an end to the lockdown was in sight. He seemed very well aware of situation out the window?

And how many of these would have died anyway from old age?

We have wrecked our economy when we could have copied Sweden. We must ease the lockdown very soon and get back to work

At NO time did he say " its going to plan "

" we have some signs it is slowing the epidemic " " once plateaued do we see a long flat peak or a faster decline , it depends how effective the current measures are " 

I assume they are giving him rendisir (I think that's how its spelt)

It worked against Ebola and seems to stop virus reproduction

You should be in another job boy 

How can anyone possible answer the above , they are questions no one can answer currently . 

So Sweden is now clear of the virus is it? erm , no , so you cant use them as a yard stick , you are funny

When not watching it sometimes I have to go by what is said in here. Unfortunately at times and I should have known the interpretation can be slightly bias. Lesson learned

The paper version is now about £40 per month, IIRC. 

I used to work in PR, with Priti Patel I cant help  spinning

I assume you mean Remdesivir. I would rather doubt they would give the Prime Minister a drug that is currently undergoing clinical trials (for Covid-19).

Doesn't Sweden currently have a worse death rate per population than us?

Matt Hancock tells @MarrShow the target now for ventilators is 18,000, down from earlier target of 30,000 - lower now because case load prediction lower

A bit more than that actually in the current climate 

I am sick of to death of this argument, you utterly horrid troll.  People may have died in a few months time anyway, yes.  But it’s still a few precious months with loved ones that have been stolen away.

Also, they wouldn’t have had to die alone if they died of other reasons.

Well, if the culture rewards dishonesty and lies then that's the behaviours you're encouraging. It's about leadership and installing the right culture: it shouldn't be difficult. It's a variant on the quality mantra that fixing a problem is far more expensive than getting it right in the first place.  The dishonesty will have consequences and costs and that means senior management is failing in its responsibilities.

As for the quoted part of the note; I would have thought it pretty obvious when there's reference to 'unprecedented global demand on the supply chain' and working 'to secure additional supplies' that all is not well. Do you really think it needs to be spelt out in big letters?  Nobody with an ounce of brains when reading that could possibly conclude that all is well, could they?

Is racism allowed on here now folks?  Isn’t it about time he had another ‘holiday’?

It feels like the same situation as with the immigration debate: at the macro level there's an argument about the scale but when it translates to some poor soul sitting alone, having lost his/her family then the emotions are entirely different (or should be).

I expect they're big party donors though.

I suspect what could happen (I could be spectacularly wrong)

• the lockdown will continue until at least the end of April but I suspect longer 
•  Daily death figures will continue to be awful for the next 2 weeks or so before slowly improving 
• The Government will continue to plough resources into building mass hospitals, opening several across the UK, with inroads made in the availability of ventilators, and hopefully improvements to testing (with the arrival of the antibody test)
• Once the latter bullet point is reached to a satisfactory level, and the UK is way past the peak of infections, the lockdown will be relaxed, and the UK will gradually make an attempt at returning to normal . This will take a long time. 
• the very vulnerable will need to continue to self isolate for the foreseeable 
• Foreign travel will be banned for most of the year 
• Pubs will reopen in June
